I just entered there and came here to see if there's anything about it...go figure

It's indeed a very sad thing ronald's web was one of the few you find in the web that it was worth reading and I must say I enjoyed every post he did since I found his site.

I would like to see him keeping his web somewhere else, different domain and host if needed but if his choice in the end, so the only thing I could say is that I hope the new areas he decided to explore give him the things he's looking for :)

Nevertheless is a shame because even when the internet is so big, there's not that big amount of interesting content and see that lost because someone decide to DoS him is stupid

In any case, Ronald if you read this, never knew you but the site while it was on was great, good luck with your projects mate ;)

Currently building a new site which will be bigger than first. I now host it at home, so now I can be responsible for the whole package. Previously I hosted virtually, so I could not protect myself against dos attacks. (the host should have done that but instead they took me down).

So the configuration is pretty much done, so before pentesting me and deplete my bandwidth and your and my time, I'm running SELinux and only got 2 open ports. FTP doesn't work, I solely use SCP for file transfer locally, and port 80 for serving the pages. Doesn't have a mailserver also.

I've pentested it myself the last month and it got 0% vulnerabilities on 3 tests:

Yah turned of the foot-switch here, reducing my carbon footprint for a while. Server sits at home, can turn it on at will. But I got a bit hot during the hot days here, and it needs some maintainance as well as a new layout.
